-    The Vulnerability special references feature is under development but ready for production use.
-    It is deployed behind a feature flag that is **disabled by default**.
-    [GitLab administrators with access to the GitLab Rails console](../administration/feature_flags.md)
-    can opt to enable it for your instance.
-    It's disabled on GitLab.com.
-
-    To disable it:
-
-    ```ruby
-    Feature.disable(:vulnerability_special_references)
-    ```
-
-    To enable it:
-
-    ```ruby
-    Feature.enable(:vulnerability_special_references)
-    ```
-
 For example, referencing an issue by using `#123` will format the output as a link
 to issue number 123 with text `#123`. Likewise, a link to issue number 123 will be
 recognized and formatted with text `#123`.
